I took a much-needed break from Outlander-ing last week to enjoy Amy Poehler’s Yes Please for a second time — this time on audiobook. I’m happy to say it’s still a great book, and the audio version was a lot of fun. “Hopefully as you get older, you start to learn how to live with your demon. It’s hard at first.

I know I am in the minority here, but I was kind of disappointed…
I wish I could tell you there is a specific reason why I didn’t like this book, but I can’t. Not really. There was nothing wrong with it. I guess it just didn’t resonate with me.

My favorite book of the year: Poelher for the W!
I would like to give this book 10 out of 5 stars, or 100 out of 5. All the stars! I went into this with pretty high expectations because I love Amy Poehler as she is a strong, amazing, funny woman, but this book just blew me away. First of all, the audiobook is where it’s at. Not only does she read it herself, but there are bits read by Kathleen Turner, Carol freaking Burnett and Sir Patrick freaking Stewart. And if celebrity cameos aren’t […]
